Tibetan (?) Dagger for ID

lew is that one mounted in silver? looks almost identical style wise to Brians. both very nice knives. I wonder if the dimensions of your silver one are similar to the brass mounted one, perhaps even made by the same smith who offered the same knife in a range of different metal fittings??

I dont know much about tibetan arms, they sure made some pretty knives though...i want one!

thx for sharing brian

The smaller one is some type of white metal alloy?

Many thanks to those who have contributed. I am astonished at how much you guys know and embarrassed at how little I know. The pommel of mine shows some wear, revealing a thin coating of brass colouring, with traces of a lighter metal below.
The pics that you guys have submitted make me envious. My 70th birthday is rapidly approaching and I think that this site has a tradition that when a member turns 70, other members send presents ? As of Tibetan daggers?

You got that backwards when one reaches 70 he is suppose to start disbanding his collection amongst the many younger members of the forum.
